Payments & receipts

Record what customers pay and what you pay vendors, and link each payment to its invoice for accurate reconciliation.

Path: Accounting ← Customers ← Invoices (open the invoice) ← Register Payment

1. Open the invoice and confirm its status is Posted — you cannot pay a draft invoice.
2. Click Register Payment at the top of the invoice to open the payment dialog.
3. Choose the correct Journal: Bank or Cash depending on how you received the money.
4. Select the Payment Method (Manual / bank transfer), set the Payment Date, and put the reference in the Memo.
5. For a partial payment, edit the Amount to the actual amount received in SAR; the remaining balance stays due on the invoice.
6. Click Create Payment; Odoo posts the payment entry and reconciles it against the invoice automatically.
7. Confirm the payment badge changes to Paid or Partially Paid at the top of the invoice.
8. To match an existing unlinked payment, open the invoice and under Outstanding Credits click Add next to the payment.
